Paint it Black
Unseen Lyrics

I see a red door and I want it painted black
I desire to change the color of the door I see to black

No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I prefer black over any other color and want everything to be painted in black

I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I observe females walking in their light clothing during summer

I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I have to avoid looking at them because it reminds me of my inner turmoil

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
I perceive a series of vehicles all painted in black

With flowers and my love both never to come back
The cars are carrying funeral caskets, signifying the loss of both love and life

I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
I experience people avoiding eye contact with me as if they’re trying to ignore my existence

Like a new born baby it just happens every day
People's instinctual behavior of shying away from anything contrary to the norm is similar to that of a newborn’s, happening repetitively

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I evaluate myself and perceive my inner being as dark and corrupt

I see my red door and it has been painted black
The door that used to be red is painted black, signaling my preference for darkness

Maybe then I'll just fade away and not have to face the facts
Perhaps I would disappear and escape reality to evade facing the brutal truth

It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black
It's challenging to confront reality when everything I see is depressing and obscure

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
My optimistic outlook and hope has vanished, leaving a stagnant and bleak feeling

I could not foresee this thing happening to you
I couldn't predict this unfortunate event that has occurred

If I look hard enough into the settin' sun
Given enough effort, I may be able to find even the slightest bit of hope in the bleakest moments

My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes
My loved one will share a moment of happiness with me before the beginning of a new day

I want to see it painted, painted black
My desire to paint everything black is still present

Black as night, black as coal
I want the color black to be as dark and deep as it can be

I want to see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wish for a complete lack of light and positivity, wanting even the sun to be extinguished

I want to see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
My obsession with the color black is intense and persistent

Yeah!
An exclamation of strong emotion that may reflect my obsession and potentially unstable mental state
